Pros: Very easy to use with fun recipes for kids.
Cons: No photographs and there is more than one recipe per page.
The Bottom Line: Excellent cookbook with 180 recipes; I have many of the pages bookmarked so I can find certain recipes quickly.

| geniewalker's Full Review: Connie Sarros - Wheat-Free, Gluten-Free Cookbook f... |
If you are familiar at all with gluten free cookbooks then you know way too many of them use strange ingredients or have a long list of ingredients per recipe. If you are not an expert cook and/or have lots of time on your hands you end up being disappointed.
That is not the case with this cookbook. Connie Sarros has created recipes using ordinary items that any one can recognize. Her recipes are easy to understand and a novice cook would be able to recreate any of the recipes. She has recipes for every meal; main dishes, side dishes, desserts, beverages, breads, and snacks.
The best recipe I have found for muffins is on page 51 "Harvest Muffins." My friends who are not on a gluten free diet love these also. This particular recipe has more ingredients than most, but it is worth the effort; it has chopped prunes & dates, raisins, water, margarine, sale, applesauce, orange juice, olive oil, eggs, vanilla, almond extract chopped nuts, gluten free flour mixture, baking soda and cinnamon. It is a moist fulfilling muffin that tastes heavenly. I think it would make a wonderful birthday cake with cream cheese frosting.
Sarros has included a gluten free flour mixture that can be used to convert your old recipes to gluten free. I like her sections on emergency substitutions and cooking techniques. She also includes tips for how to organize your kitchen and has suggestions for cooking different types of vegetables.
